1. I eventually want to have children, and so one concern I have is how to use my law degree to financially support a family in the New York metropolitan area. Besides working at a large law firm, are there other career paths that pay you enough to raise a family with some sense of financial security in one of the most expensive regions in the country?

2. For those of us who work at a large law firm and step off the partnership track, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, what other opportunities are available? For example how does one go about getting a general counsel position at a company and how difficult is it to do so? What are the advantages and disadvantages of going in-house at a company as opposed to working at a law firm?

3. What are some of the typical challenges faced by solo practicioners? How does their daily life compare with life at a law firm?
